BCS - 12/3/2007 6:43:50 AM    Jennymae Posts: 4 Joined: 11/29/2007 Status: offline I've been saying this for years, but once again the BCS voters have shocked me in the standings.  I'm obviously an OU fan, and yes we had two losses, but so did LSU. Yes we lost at home, so did LSU.  Then this past saturday we played Mizzou (for the second time this season) for the Big 12 championship.  Mizzou was a 3pt dog in the game and the Sooners beat them by almost 30!!!  So we beat the number one team in the nation and LSU gets the chance at the national title.  It's good that we still get to go to a BCS bowl, I just think once again there are teams (not just mine) that should have been placed a little better than what they were.  Okay my rant is done, lol. oh yeah btw, Boomer Sooner Post #: 1

Hope the Big 12 wins all of their bowl games.   Even KU. As far as the BCS goes, money talks & BS walks. _____________________________ GM perf. exh, GM CAI, Superchips, Lund step tubes, billet grill, LED tails, Lloyd mats, rear console, GM flaps, silver calipers, black bow ties, tint (in reply to Jennymae) Post #: 5

So my question is......what is the "BCS"? I hear them talk about it on the TV, but the never say what the acronym stands for. (in reply to 73shark) Post #: 6
